Reddit user Pac_mom shared her impressive weight loss journey that left users inspired and curious about the process. The 32-year-old started her weight loss journey at 175lbs and dropped down to 135lbs in just nine months. She qualified and won first place in bikini class D at her first bodybuilding show as a natural competitor. Pac_mom said that losing the first 20lbs on her own and then hiring a coach for a 17-week prep helped her achieve most of her progress.

Balanced Diet

Pac_mom credits her diet and a strict workout regime for her weight loss. She ate a lot of protein, oats, white rice, green veggies, with some healthy fats like avocado, and grass-fed beef but no dairy or alcohol. She did not follow a keto diet and said carbs were a big part of her program. She had one cheat meal a week, which kept her on track and gave her something to look forward to.

Intense Workout Routine

Pac_mom's workout routine was intense, and she did fasted cardio for 30-1 hour from 5 am every day. She lifted a heavyweight for five days a week, with a schedule of shoulders and abs on Monday; glutes and hamstrings on Tuesday; cardio only on Wednesday; back on Thursday; arms and abs on Friday; and legs on Saturday. She was up at 4 am daily to do cardio before having breakfast.

Support System and Hard Work

Pac_mom attributed her success to her support system, which helped her stay focused throughout her journey. She also emphasized that dedication and hard work were keys to achieving her goals. Pac_mom had a lift and implants, so she didn't lose any support, but she admitted that there would be some volume loss in the chest for those undergoing the transformation.

Pac_mom's 40lbs weight loss journey in just nine months demonstrates that with hard work, dedication, and a consistent workout regime and diet can change your body significantly. Her story serves as an inspiration for those looking for a lifestyle change, especially those interested in bodybuilding, and are willing to put in the work. It's important to note that everyone's body is different, and what works for Pac_mom might not work for everyone. Find what works best for you and stick to it.
